Well, to begin, what was it that you updated yesterday? Do you remember the specific updates you applied? (ie emerge updates, dispatch-conf/etc-update updates, etc. etc.)

Or perhaps your video driver was updated. It definitely has the look of a video driver issue...perhaps even video device failure. Check /var/log/portage/elog to see what the last updates were. If your video driver was part of the update (and it probably was) move back one iteration and retry.

Blessed be!

It could be freetype. Move back one version and see if that unties the knots.

Blessed be!

2 days lost for trying repair this fonts and it was problem with pixman-0.11.4-r1 ;/ mention here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225843

IMHO closing bugs unresolved as upstream isnt good idea
